  I have invited people to my blog, and they have signed up but I can’t see them in the users section. Am I doing something wrong?
  Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you go to your site stats page http://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/ you can see:

  how many followers you have
  who your followers are
  how many people are subscribed to post comments on your site

  If you go down to “Totals, Followers & Shares”, you should be able to see your site followers and your comment followers

  Let me know what you see, thanks!

  staff-doublebassd – This has nothing to do with Stats

  @silversteach- If you invited people to be users on your site, they have to *accept your invitation*, not just sign up with WordPress.com (though they will have to do that as well). See here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  Make sure they are signed up with the same email address/username you invited them with.

  Thanks guys. They have accepted invite and activated account, with same email address, but I still don’t see them in list of users. (I invited them to be authors, by the way…)

  Any other suggestions gratefully received!

  Many thanks

  Did they accept the invitations? If so then what are their usernames?
  I’ll tag this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Please let us know which users you are having issues inviting, and which role you would like to assign to them, and I’d be happy to take a look.
